Reflecting on Bambi and Renee's Journeys with Ashley and Christiana

It is just a really beautiful demonstration of shame, elimination and, I'm telling you, too much information.
Have you ever wondered how the past shapes our present, especially when it comes to recovery? In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', hosts Ashley Loeb Blassingame and Christiana Kimmich bring back their popular 'After the Episodes' format. This time, they revisit the compelling stories of Bambi Brown and Renée Siegel from previous episodes. Bambi's tale dives into the complexities of intergenerational trauma, sharing the raw impact of growing up with an alcoholic parent.
On the other hand, Renée offers a poignant look at her life with immigrant parents and the cultural identity struggles that come with it. The hosts don't shy away from tough topics. They tackle gambling addiction, the unique challenges of motherhood in recovery, and the drinking culture in rural areas. They even touch on the anxiety healthcare workers face during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout, Ashley and Christiana mix their insights with humor and empathy, making the conversation both engaging and relatable. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of inspiration, support, and a few laughs along the way.
